Total immersion training is a method of training that fully immerses trainees into the environment that is conductive to learning the skills, knowledge and behavior they are desired to learn. Learning takes place in a holistic way rather than in an analytical way.
Participants achieve deep and rapid learning through:
Observing the trainer perform the required skills and behavior while applying the knowledge required
Reflecting on their colleagues while they are performing activities that employ skills, knowledge and behavior required
Performing activities that involved the required skills, behavior and knowledge while getting feedback from the trainer and from their colleagues
Participants learn very fast
Participants learn an enormous amount of knowledge, skills and behaviors
Learning is more permanent
The learning process is not stressful
